Christmas Wishlist 2015

So I've finally got around to compiling my christmas wishlist. Honestly I'm so bad at deciding what I want my parents literally despair over my christmas list. But never fear, I've picked a few of my favourites and compiled this nifty little collage for you all. All links will be down below.

Before I begin to write the post I just wanted to do a quick disclaimer (duh). I appreciate I do have a few higher priced items on there and I'm not expecting to receive them all. I also fully understand that Christmas is not just about presents but writings lists like this are super fun. So feel free to leave if materialism isn't your thing. (But seriously why are you even here?!)

I was just perusing the Selfridges website a few weeks back and utterly fell head over heels in love with these stunners. Seriously they're so beautiful they make me a little weak at the knees. I love Ugg for the comfort but I do feel like they can end up looking a tad tacky however these are far from it! They've got a fairly high heel but they're also super comfortable (I tried them on in the shop) and fur lined. It's safe to say, I'm obsessed.

Of course I've asked for books for christmas?! This one I will definitely be reviewing as I'm super excited to read another contemporary! I'll leave the synopsis (taken from amazon.co.uk) below:

Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon's last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.

Can Ben's relationship with Fallon - and simultaneously his novel - be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?

As a self confessed clean freak, I constantly feel at work as though my hands are infested with a million germs. I'm almost out of the coconut version of this so thought I'd ask for this one as a quick stocking filler.

I've never tried anything from Hourglass before but their products always look so darn beautiful. This blush makes me want to run to the shops right now and make an immediate purchase. I've heard amazing things about it so I really hope some kind family members gets me this! (However it's currently sold out on John Lewis so that's upsetting.)

Now this is more like my usual fantasy reads. Whilst I appreciate this probably isn't for everyone, it's taken the YA market by storm lately. Of course I'll leave the Amazon.co.uk synopsis below:

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price - and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy, Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone.

A convict with a thirst for revenge.

A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.

A runaway with a privileged past.

A spy known as the Wraith.

A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.

A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.

Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction - if they don't kill each other first.

This is the second book in the 5th Wave trilogy. I read the first way back in 2013 and loved it however for some reason never got around to reading the second when it came out. After a recent reread, I decided this was something I needed in my life hence why we're talking about it today!

For Cassie Sullivan and the rest of Earth's remaining human survivors, the situation was already desperate when the 5th Wave hit. It's about to get worse.

No one yet knows the depths to which Earth's conquerors - the Others - will sink in order to rid the Earth of the human infestation, nor have they guessed the heights to which the human spirit can reach. Characters introduced in Book One will come to the fore - and others will face the ultimate test.

Next year I really want to get more into fashion photography on my blog. And whilst i've got a good lens for close ups, beauty shots etc I really want one that will blur the background and give that glamorous photoshoot look. I know from looking at other bloggers this is a definite favourite so hopefully you guys will get to see some more fashion from me soon!

Okay, so that's my christmas list! I will be doing a 'What I Got For Christmas' post (probably boxing day) so hopefully you'll see some of these things in real life on my blog! I'm obsessed with reading this sort of post so please link me yours (or tweet me) and I'll have a gander!
